Keep Hunting on the Weekends East Hampton Town

This petition is stating that we want to keep hunting open on the weekends in the towns from East Hampton to Montauk because there are many trails to hike that are not hunting grounds and there are many people who do not have the opportunity to hunt on the week days because of their 9-5 jobs during the week. This is how some people save money and feed their families for the entire year. This isn't just a sport that will be lost to some people, this is a real life predicament for people who genuinely use hunting to save money, feed their families, and help feed other families.
